6. Unlucky Friday in Western Tradition
In Western cultures, Friday has long been associated with misfortune. Historically, executions were often scheduled on Fridays, and financial crises have occurred on this day. Folklore also links Fridays to various calamities, such as the fall of Adam and Eve and the start of Noah’s flood. This negative perception contrasts with other cultures; for instance, in Spain and Greece, Tuesday the 13th is considered unlucky, while in Italy, Friday the 17th is feared. (britannica.com)
